Hi,

The new binutils 2.15 package combined with newer gcc releases might
expose a longstanding binutils problem, it's discussed here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-08/msg00535.html
I'm running tests with newer gcc and since the upgrade to binutils 2.15
some of the tests fail because of this.
It's rather unlikely that this problem is properly fixed in binutils
soon, so I think we should include this patch to avoid further problems
with the pending release.

OK... I put it.

I discussed with this issues and taught some things from Daniel on IRC
(thanks Daniel!). AFAIK:

  - R_***_NONE is used to fill NULL out for not fixed relocations.
    It's old binutils problem, newer binutils can handle it. m68k is
    the last architecture to be updated.

  - R_68K_NONE is sometimes used. No one is quite sure what is
    changed.

  - ia64, alpha, sparc have R_***_NONE code in elf_machine_lazy_rel,
    but it seems being for backward compatibility.

  - No one has been worked for this problem. But adding this code
    should be harmless. If we fix it, we need to rewrite some
    relocation routines.

  - We may be able to have this code for a while.

Regards,
